ment. a fester on the face of civiliza-
tion which was the hiding place for all
the outlaws in the county and where
all fugitives found safety from the
law. A twitching of the trigger fin
ger could be seen on several of the
worthy citizens of the bandit Htrong-
hold. but the boss of the town re-
strained his henchmen, for Charlie
Easton was now the law's outlaw, a
price of $1,000 on his head.
Even now there was a notice post-
ed in the town's leading thirst em-
porium which offered a big reward for
this same man who they now saw
riding toward them, dead or alive, for
Easton was wanted for the murder of
the sheriff of Pyramid county, whom,
the bulletin said, he had shot down
in cold blood. Ilawkes' N'est re-
ceived Easton with open arms al-
though he was carefully watched at
first. A few moments served to bring
the decision that the man was insane,
gone crazy from meditating on bis
crime, they thought and he was given
the run of the place.
But there was one in Ilawkes*
Nest who forgot, through his avari-
ciousness, that no man who had ever
sought their protection there in
Ilawkes' Nest had ever been given up
to the law. and Carey Tait schemed
to deliver Easton to the Pyramid all
thorities and collect the $1,000. How
Tait was foiled by this seemingly in-
sane man and in the end occupied the
very jail he had hoped would lodge
Easton is one of the big surprises in
the Triangle's Western masterpiece,

Stewart, cowboy star, at the Liberty
theater on Wednesday and Thursday

CONGRESS TO TAKE RECESS.
Report comes from Washington to
the effect that congressional leaders
of both parties agreed late yesterday
on a plan for a recess about June 15
after appropriation bills are out of
the way until August I, while the
house ways and means committee
works on the new revenue bill.
Passage of the revenue measure by
the house between August 1 and
August 10 is contemplated, to be fol-
lowed by a thirty-day recess of the
house to await action by the senate.
Speaking in the house yesterday on
the revenue situation, Majority Lead-
er Kitchin expressed the belief that
"one of the shrewdest and most pow-
erful lobbies" that ever came to con-
gress is back of the movement for tax
legislation at this time. He declared
the lobby had for its purpose a repeal
of the inc rease on second class postal
matter.

GOVERNMENT TAKES OVER
ALL EXPRESS COMPANIES
One union express company for the
1'nited States was created yesterday
in Washington by agreement between
Director General McAdoo and the
Adams. American. Wells-Kargo and
Southern Express companies, whose
transportation business will be merg-
ed under a new private corporation,'
the report says, with capital of more
than $30,000,000 to be known probably
as the Federal Express company
George C. Taylor, now president of the
American, will be head of the new
j concern.
Effective July 1 shippers will direct
shipments "by express" without re-
j ganl to company and soon thereafter
j the individual names ot the separate
i ompanies will begin to disappear
from stations and such other places
as frequently seen. '1 lie company will
lie the express carrying agency of the
railroads, operating privately but un-
der contract to turn over 50 Vi per-
cent of their gross revenues—more
than $200,000,000 last year—to the
roads for transportation privileges.
Three smaller railroad owned com-
panies may join the combiantion later.
'I lie pending application for 10 per
cent increase rates filed before gov-
ernment operation of railroads or the
express combination were contem-
plated, will be passed upon soon by
the interstate commerce commission.
Through economies by the com-
mon use of wagons, trucks, distribut-
ing stations, city offices, warehouses,
railroad cars and other equipment and
the simplification f accounting, the
merged companies hope to save many
millions of dollars and to render bet-
ter service.
Though the merger is arranged un-
der war exigencies it is planned as
permanent and accomplishes the ob-
ject which has been discussed in vain
for almost a century of competitive
conditions.
The stock in the Federal Express
company will be distributed among
the four companies according to the
comparative value of the properties
they contribute, to be determined after
further valuation proceedings.
Out of the 49 3-4 per cent of gross
earnings retained, the union corpora-
tion will pay operating expenses,
taxes and dividend of 5 per cent on its
capital stock. Out ot' the next 2 per-
cent available for distribution the
company will receive 1 per cent and
the government 1 per cent Out of
the next :! per cent the company will
get 1 per cent and the government 2
per cent One-ourth of amounts above
this will be distributed to the com
pany and three fourths to the gov-
ernment
